Company Creative Perks
In today’s competitive job market, traditional benefits like health insurance and PTO are just the baseline. Creative perks are emerging as powerful tools to attract, engage, and retain top talent—while also reinforcing a company’s culture and values.
These perks go beyond the expected to support the whole person, fostering well-being, curiosity, personal growth, and authentic connection. Examples include “Do Nothing Days” for mental health, passion funds for learning non-work-related skills, surprise travel raffles, and sabbaticals for volunteering. Companies are also investing in family-friendly benefits, like elder care credits and parent communities, and giving employees more autonomy through flexible schedules and purpose-driven time off.
By offering imaginative, human-centered perks, organizations show they truly care—not just about productivity, but about people.
